Excellent value for dollar 
I got my Kindle 2 weeks ago and am still learning its uses and limitations. As I build my e-library, I wanted to get some of the great works. I read the prior negative review but got this edition anyway. I figured that 99 cents was worth the gamble.
And for me, this was exactly what I wanted. The publisher did provide an active TOC (in response to the review?). The plays were as difficult to absorb yet rewarding to understand as I remember. The line breaks are off, but for me it was not an issue at all (I changed the font size and after a while stopped noticing).
Overall, I rate this at 5 stars because it is such excellent value for the dollar. I can literally have this (and other) great works at my fingertips at a price that allows me to build up my own e-library.
Thank you to the publisher
I originally gave this product a 1 star review based on poor formatting. However, to my surprise, the publisher provided a new version that fixed the line break problem. I am very, very pleased with the publisher's quick response. What a bargain at 99 cents.
this is why kindle rocks 
This really is all 26 dialogues. for less than a dollar. The formating issue mentioned is that there isn't a line break when the character switches. i.e. to indicate that a different character is speaking it puts the character name in caps and this can occur in the middle of a line like so: SOCRATES which is perhaps a little annoying but I think worth the hassle to save so much money and so many trees.
The Jowett translation, including all 26 dialogues: Apology, Charmides (and preface to the collection), Cratylus, Critias, Crito, Euthyphro, Euthydemus, Gorgias, Ion, Laches, Laws, Lesser Hippias, Lysis, Menexus, Meno, Parmenides, Phaedo, Phaedrus, Philebus, Protagoras, Republic, Sophist, Statesman, Symposium, Theaetetus, and Timaeus. Responding to customer feedback, I posted a new version of this file on 5/7/2008, fixing the end of line problem and keeping the active table to contents (which makes it easier to navigate through this huge book).
